Please Step Up to Take Back Your Party

Apparently fat cat donors are not opening their wallets to the DNC because they aren't sure they like Howard Dean. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_23/c3936057_mz013.htm

...Dean's business-bashing '04 campaign makes him a hard sell in corporate circles. "There's a wait-and-see attitude from business and major contributors," says Nathan Landow, a Maryland developer and big-time donor. "This guy has some work to do to get the comfort level up." William W. Batoff, a Philadelphia real estate developer and longtime Democratic fund-raiser who backed President Bush in 2000 and 2004, is less diplomatic. "Howard Dean is the wrong person to be chair," says Batoff, who claims he will help fund the Dems' congressional efforts but will boycott the national committee while Dean reigns.

"....a longtime democratic fundraiser who backed President Bush in 2000 and 2004" ?  Of course these people think Howard Dean is the wrong person to head the DNC -- they want GOP-leaning, butt kissing DINOs in charge. Are these the donors we want pulling the DNC strings with their big cash donations?

Folks, if we really want to take back our party each of us has to step up and give a little to the DNC, and take it back from fat cat Bush-voting Democrats.  Regular small donations -- even $25, $50 -- quickly add up to a whole lot of cash as we saw with Chairman Dean's unprecedented presidential race.

Please pull out your credit card and give what you can to take back our party from Bush-voting 'Democrats', http://www.democrats.org/support/index.html?dsc=NETA250
